Hamiltonian America.Chapter 9 Sons Of Liberty.page 15

A melange of upstart soldiers with no single warship hellbent to frustrate the ferocious wrath and nefarious trigger of world power.Sometimes Washington doubted his team's ability to intimidate let alone defeat this fury of well oiled terror machine and conceded that his men at arms was suffocated by this dearth.To remediate this difficult position the decision of New York provincial congress came in handy to arrest a grave shortage of arms for the imminent assault.The congress ordered that  leads on the rooftops and windows be peeled and melted to make bullets.What a great consolation and a big respite!New York had become a ghost town bleeding profusely under the excruciating pain of chopped trees disposed for firewood .

General Sir William Howe ordered ship under Admiral Lord Richard Howe his brother's command to pass through Narrows where redcoats in their  thousands at Staten island were disembarked."

" Did you see that crowded harbor?"

"Oh u saw the congestion like cement armada 1970s.You cannot exonerate the interminable procession of all imposing vessels at the harbour.See how the continental army from Manhattan wharves and rooftops stared gobsmacked at the procession."

"Imposing vessels?"

"Yeah"

"But there was survey there"

"Exactly it focused on Bay thick with British masts according to Americam soldier says " is 'a wood of pine trees 'by semblance and "could not believe my eyes.I declare that I thought all London was afloat".

"Did Hamilton survey too?"

"Yeah including his artillery company had vivid and unimpeded view of the so called enemy "

"And the submissions?"

"That it was an unscrupulous times to fight for the defence of the united colonies 

"Threatened not to declare their freedoms. It was a colossal nightmare for a  impending colossal battle with military strength since ancient Roman."

"Say that again,but they decided to fight back in fury too.Hence the continental army took resolution to declare independence on July 2."

"But new York abstained right ?"

"Absolutely.Then two days later the Congress endorsed the resolution as edited in completion though signing was delayed until 2nd of August.Taking a rational decision in the face of beckoning terror was quite unprecedented and still were so humbled to issue a formal declaration as law abiding citizens and list of reasons for their secession.Ir was no impetuous action to break away from mother country and setting up self governing autonomous region.An audacious act against the evidence of historical precedent which they knew been treason was punishable by death or hanging. Yet unperturbed in a vivid threat that scarcely denied the trickled reports of their approach into Philadelphia from which their terrifying tons of formidable fleet approached new York.
